Give Thanks for These 45 Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Dishes

Every Thanksgiving, the gluten-free cook faces a dilemma: Tweak the traditional family recipes (and risk offending Aunt Martha with a new take on her green bean casserole), or forge a path to a whole new set of food traditions. If the latter appeals to you (as it does to us), here’s a roster of 45 delicious gluten-free dishes to get you started.

Mashed Potato Skordalia

Traditional Greek skordalia is mostly garlic and olive oil with some potato or nuts added to thicken it. We flipped the ratio in this recipe: more potato, less garlic. Serve as a dip, or thin out with lemon juice and olive oil and use as a sauce for fish.GET THE RECIPE

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the spinach. Adding spinach that is too wet could upset the creamy harmony of the rest of the ingredients. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.GET THE RECIPE

Farmers' Market Quinoa Salad

Don’t obsess over getting these exact ingredients in this precise combination. Any nut you like will work here for crunch, and you’re looking for a mix of bright herbs and enough cooked grains to make this quinoa salad recipe substantial.GET THE RECIPE

Fermented Carrot Pickles

Spicy Buttered Broccolini

Try chef Rene Ortiz’s Ginger-Garlic Tofu with his addictive broccolini. A generous dose of red pepper flakes, a good hunk of butter, and a big squeeze of lemon transform them. “The fat, the butter, the acid,” says Ortiz, chef at Sway, Austin: “It makes you want to keep going back for more.”GET THE RECIPE

Porchetta-Style Roast Turkey Breast

Deboning a turkey breast isn’t difficult (just like cutting the rib bones away from a chicken breast, but bigger), but most butchers will do this for you. Ask for a whole breast, skin on, bones removed when you order it at the meat counter. Click here for step-by-step photos and instructions on butterflying the breast.GET THE RECIPE

Spatchcocked Turkey with Anise and Orange

Most butchers will remove the backbone for you. Lots of guests? Roast two 12–14-pounders; spatchcocking anything larger will be harder and takes longer. Learn how to spatchcock in this video.GET THE RECIPE

Extra-Buttery Mashed Potatoes

Drying the cooked potatoes in the pan means that they'll absorb that much more flavor from your herb-infused dairy. Don't skip this step! Watch this video for even more mashed potato tips.GET THE RECIPE
